Kind of a funny thing to ask but I'm sure each of you runs into the same problem each time and has developed your own solution.

One of the funny things about ultralight backpacking is that you bring less stuff but what you do bring is very small. So at night when I am unpacking, setting up, and cooking I keep losing track of these little items. You know. "Where's my lighter? spork? fuel? pocket knife? etc etc, and (most importantly) my little LED light which I need to find that other stuff?

I'm not so much worried about finding it in my pack because I can organize things by stuff sack. But once they are out they tend to disappear.

I can imagine a big keychain with all this stuff on it but there may be a better way. Anyone got any methods they use?
